Validate Your Design

Most companies are under pressure to accelerate their new product development programs. Prototypes are a critical part of the process. They not only provide product development, marketing and sales teams with a 3D model to validate their design concepts. Prototypes also help them verify fit, finish and performance before moving finalized part designs into production.

Prototyping Capabilities

Elimold offers a variety of prototyping options to refine and validate your designs.

Polyurethane Casting Prototypes

Polyurethane Casting Prototypes

Polyurethane casting is ideal for quickly producing small quantities of parts for functional and cosmetic testing. It can be used to produce parts with complex geometries and fine details. A single silicone mold can be used to produce identical parts with varying hardnesses, allowing side-by-side testing to determine which method performs best.
STEP Technology

STEP Technology

Selective Thermoplastic Electrophotography (STEP) is a revolutionary additive manufacturing technology that enables the production of high-precision prototype parts without the need for tooling. Because it utilizes powdered materials of common thermoplastics, it can be a one-stop solution for everything from prototype parts and bridges to full-scale production.
Multiple Prototype CNC Machined and Turned Parts

Metal Prototyping

Prototype metal parts can be manufactured using a variety of methods, including stamping, CNC-controlled cutting (water jet, micro water jet, laser, and wire EDM), sheet metal production, and chemical etching.We have extensive metal part manufacturing capabilities to meet your prototype component and assembly project needs.
Injection Molding Prototypes

Injection Molding Prototypes

Our rapid tooling service quickly produces steel tooling, with sample parts delivered in as little as 15 days. Instead of aluminum molds with a limited lifespan, we use hardened steel molds, ideal for bridges and small-batch production. No one produces rapid steel molds faster than Elimold.
Fiberglass Layup Prototyping

Fiberglass Layup Prototyping

The Elimold team has decades of experience in handcrafting large prototype parts, using the traditional process of laying up fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP) in wooden molds. This process uses reinforcing materials such as glass fibers, impregnated with liquid resin, and then manually applied and shaped to fit the mold. This process is primarily used for products under development. Fiberglass layup is significantly less expensive than other methods of manufacturing large parts.

High-Quality Parts at Unprecedented Speeds

When you’re on a tight deadline, you can’t afford long lead times or delays caused by quality issues. Elimold provides instant quotes & DFM feedback, rapid lead times, and robust quality management systems to ensure you stay on track.

Why Use a Prototyping Tool?

Design Feedback

  • Receive interactive design for manufacturability feedback with every quote to make early adjustments before prototyping begins.
  • Talk with applications engineers to discuss any design challenges and manufacturing questions that arise.

Iterative Development

  • Have physical prototypes in hand within days to quickly modify designs during early product development.
  • Produce multiple prototypes at the same time to compare and iterate designs simultaneously.
  • Reduce overall time to market with an iterative product development cycle.

Design Validation

  • Test the form and fit of components with small quantities of molded parts.
  • Perform functional test with prototypes manufactured in production-grade materials.
  • Full library of online design resources including guidelines, tips, white papers, and videos.

Market Testing

  • Produce a pilot run injection-molded parts to validate market interest before launch.
  • Reduce financial risk at market launch by implementing affordable aluminum tooling before full-scale production begins.

Need It Faster Than Fast? Try Our Rapid Prototyping Service

Rapid prototyping technology enables engineers to quickly transform their ideas into printed parts with physical and mechanical properties similar to the finished product. Using automated production technologies like 3D printing and CNC machining, these parts can be produced in hours.
This allows them to use these parts to validate designs and test their fit, appearance, and functionality. Furthermore, because prototype parts can be produced so quickly, engineers can test multiple designs simultaneously or quickly iterate to a final version.
